Hello, The class very good. Chef Akshay provided some good tips and tricks, and made the recipes not over-whelming. The recipes and food were very good. The reason for the 4 star vs a 5 star was the amount of food we received for the money. We made a large amount of food, but the portions served to us were very small. As an example, we made 12 dumplings, but were only served 4 (2 each). We made a large WOK of Singapore noodles, but were given a small portion. We literally stopped for food on the way home. I have taken cooking classes before and leave very full AND with a "doggy-bag". Unfortunately, with this one, we left hungry and empty handed. BUT the class, the food and the experience was very good.
